To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR Wool), a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State ofMichigan, have invented a new and useful Coupling for Coupling Springs,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a metallic coupling device used in connectionwith buggy and other springs for the purpose of attaching or connectingthe springs together; and the oben the coupling of springs, ashereinafter set forth. This object I accomplish by means of themechanism illustrated in the accompany ing drawings, in which- Figure lis an end view of my coupling device; Fig. 2, a side view of the same.Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the same on line a: x of Fig. 1.Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the method of coupling the two springs,and Fig. 5 is a side view of the coupling.

Siniilarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views. i

A is the metallic coupling-iron. B is an 1 opening in the coupling A forthe reception 1 of the front spring, F. O is a projection on thecoupling device A, to which the spring F is or may be attached. D is anopening in the part A for the reception of the bolt G. E is the sidespring. H H are links connecting A to the side spring, E, as shown inFig. 5. G is a bolt attaching links H H to side spring, E.

The construction of the side and front springs is the same as of thosenow in general use. 7
